Ep 39: 1999 AFC Playoffs - Buffalo Bills @ Tennessee Titans


Listen Later

You be hard-pressed to find a sports fan that hasn't seen the Music City Miracle play. It's one of the most iconic kickoff returns in NFL history and a play that put the Titans on the map as a new franchise in Nashville. 

We went back and watched this 1999 AFC Playoff Wild Card Game between the Buffalo Bills and the Tennessee Titans, who had a 13-3 record as a wild card team by the way. 

We expected to see a low-scoring game with little to talk about besides that final play but there's much, much more to discuss about this matchup. So join us as we take you back to January 8, 2000 to relive the very first playoff game in Nashville. 

Here's a look at some of the topics we get into: 

  • The Bills QB battle and an unprecedented decision by Wade Phillips
  • The end of the Bills successful run through the 90s
  • The beginning of a new era in the NFL
  • The Andre Reed drama in Buffalo this year.
  • Plenty of outdated items
  • A good Millenium joke on the heels of Y2K
  • The Wycheck lateral 
  • A good broadcast crew
  • How this game changed the legacy of many players

There's a lot to get to over the course of this episode and we had a lot of fun doing it.
